Full suss has cracked beyond any repair so apart from selling the shock what can you do with the aluminium frame apart from leave it in the shed?

take it to the tip for recycling?

Personally, I’d be worried about sellign a cracked frame for fear someone will bodge it and sell it to some unsuspecting punter.

You might get something for the non cracked part and bearings?

pics please.

I do not believe in “unrepairable”.

where there’s a spoon, there’s a way 😉

Make a wheel building/truing stand out of the rear end?

If you can’t fix it with duct tape, you’re not using enough duct tape

Don’t really want to sell it as I think its unsafe. The bearing are on their last legs but the rear is fine although its a 2007 model and I doubt there will be much interest.

Goes all the way round until the reinforcing plate on the top of the top tube.

No idea if these are any good but Real Cycles are selling Commencal front ends on ebay;

might be worth calling them to see if they have any others?

Already sorted a new frame.

A commencal!
Sell the rear end.

Mine cracked there too, but on the weld. But mine was still under warrenty.

if you can find a new front end it would at least give the back end some value to someone, even if you don’t buy it yourself?

I would think that at worst you would be able to sell the shock and linkage plates, possibly chuck in the rear triangel in the sale of the linkage plates.

Then just take the front triangle to the skip or hang it up in the shead a a momento to your wikid gnar skilz bruv 😉 or use it as a massive wind chime with some old sprokets hung off it to clater about 🙂

Thanks, will try and sell the rear end and shock. Probably keep the front for the shed wall.

Call that a broken frame?

This is a broken frame 😡
